Atlanta, GA 30303

From: Staci Winston, ATL Issuing Officer To: Potential Respondents

This Addendum forms a part of the Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 22-064 and modifies the RFP as described below. ATL changes and clarifications are underlined. This Addendum consists of forty-eight (48) pages.

I. ATL ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS RECEIVED

ATL is hereby issuing responses to questions about the RFP received from interested parties to the RFP. Answers are underlined.

1. In the case that turnover audit is requested, would fluid sampling of all the buses be required? If not all, what percentage of the fleet would require fluid samples?

Response: On turnover audit fluid sampling of all buses is required.

2. The extent of inspection services as related to being visual or if anything is to be disassembled and reassembled for inspection such as wheels removed for brake inspection or similar areas?

Response: Inspection services would be visual only. Brake inspections would be a visual inspection with stroke measurements. Disc brakes would be visual and inspection of the wear indicator pin. Drum and rotors may need measuring if a maximum wear line is not evident in the visual inspection. If something were to present that needed disassembly, the ATL contractor would be responsible for disassembly and reassembly.

3. Who will perform the disassembly/reassembly of the components? How will this time be captured?

Response: See number 2

4. Will the contractor be required to read engine/transmission/HVAC codes or just document any check engine/trans/HVAC lights? Who will be required to provide the necessary readers?

Response: Document any check engine/trans/HVAC lights only. ATL staff have readers and can assist if further information is needed on a light or code.

5. Will any road tests be required?

Response: No road test will be required.

6. Will the ATL maintenance shop have sufficient personnel scheduled to complete the inspections without delaying the process?

Response: Yes. Two bus bays with lifts will also be scheduled for contractor use.

7. What hours of the day will vehicles be available for inspections?

Response: ATL will endeavor to accommodate the contractor with their preferred hours, not to exceed 12 hrs per day. We ask that the contractor be punctual on their requested hours as this impacts ATL staff too.

8. What is the process if vehicles scheduled for inspections are placed in service and not available for the inspection?

Response: This should not happen as ATL has adequate fleet numbers to accommodate a vigorous inspection schedule. ATL only operates commuter service so during mid-day, all buses are on the yard and are back in by 8:00 pm.
